Savory Pumpkin-Sago Kuih

Recently, we made a trip to my uncle's farm about 40 km from Kuching City.  We came home with a car booth full of fruits and varieties of vegetables and not to mention the humble PUMPKIN.  The pumpkins are heavy with smooth and firm skin which are said to be best!

Ingredients:
200g pumpkin (shredded)
200g sago (soaked for 15 mins. and strained)
30g caster sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Topping Ingredients:
1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp garlic (chopped)
30g minced pork
30g small dried prawns (washed and drained)
2 dried mushrooms (soaked and sliced thinly)
1/2 tbsp fish sauce

Garnish:
1 stalk spring onion, green part (chopped)
1/2 red chilli (seeded and diced finely)

Methods:
  • In a large mixing bowl put all the ingredients in and mix till well combined.

  • Pour the mixture into a greased 7" steaming tray.  Steam at high heat until cooked. Remove from steamer, leave it to cool then cut into pieces with the size of your choice.
  • For the topping, heat oil and saute chopped garlic until fragrant.  Add in dried prawns, mushrooms, minced pork and stir-fry until aromatic.  Add in fish sauce, pepper and continue to fry until fragrant.  Dish onto a bowl.

  • Sprinkle the topping ingredients over the sliced pumpkin, garnish with spring onion and chilli.


  • Serve with a cup of coffee or tea.
